Creating CSAM and posting it online is certainly speech, though, just as much as posting a legal form of original artwork is. But I'm 100% fine with the person responsible for that CSAM being censored and prosecuted, by the government, and that's exactly what will happen.

If you extend speech protections to cover creating and distributing CSAM you open the flood gates to a mountain of other actions that are crimes today.

What is the difference in creating CSAM and creating heroine that would make the former free speech and the later a crime?
